Hamlet help please!
@LoverofWords
Which part do you want me to help with?
all:(
I've never read Hamlet, so I don't know how much help I can be :/
Can you just try and see?
I don't know how I can develop thesis statements if I know nothing about Hamlet, but I can try to find snippets of Hamlet and attempt to throw something together.
ok. can u help me with some geomtry?
@LoverofWords
I can try. Again, can't guarantee I'll be any good at it, but I'll definitely try. If I can't, I know some people on here who are really good at it.
@tesla117 http://www.paperstarter.com/hamlet.htm Look at that, it gives you all sorts of thesis statements with quotes to go along with them. I think it'll help tremendously.

I have a thesis statement so far.. Is this a good one In the course of the play, Hamlet is confronted by many choices he must make, and Shakespeare uses extremes to present how revenge leads to tragedy.

Whats gonna be the next thing
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark this quote is important because as he and Horatio debate whether or not to follow Hamlet and the ghost into the dark night Marcellus and Horatio debate whether or not to follow Hamlet and the ghost into the dark night. The line refers both to the idea that the ghost is an ominous omen for Denmark and to the larger theme of the connection between the moral legitimacy of a ruler and the health of the state as a whole. The ghost is a visible symptom of the rottenness of Denmark created by Claudius’s crime..

is that to answer for Quotation???
Next is Connection to thesis:
The quote is so something is rotten in the state of Denmark and k
That long thing you wrote is for the 1 quotation right?
@Hazbowties15
Yes
Okay thanks, next thing?
It connects by when they have a debate over whether or not to follow him or not it leads to a confused choice for them in the play.
quotation 2
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action The above quotation from Hamlet's famous "to be or not to be" soliloquy in Act III Sc.1 encapsulates Hamlet's 'tragic flaw' and his moral dilemma. Hamlet's 'tragic flaw' of course is 'procrastination' - he is well aware that his uncle Claudius has murdered his father and has usurped the throne. Now, all that he has to do is to quickly avenge the evil deeds of his uncle. But Hamlet is hampered by his over scrupulous conscience which prevents him from immediately avenging his father's murder. His conscience prevents him from acting swiftly by debating at length the pros and cons of his action, with the result that the mental process of thinking what exactly he must do completely nullifies the effectiveness of the plan of action he finally decides upon.
Connection to thesis is next
It connects by leading up to a tragedy in the book by which he knows that his uncle killed his father and has been put on the throne.
What would that be? @Hazbowties15
The connection to the second quote
I see what u wrote. so everything ur typing i would type in my own words correct?
Yea
next is B main idea or event
Kk umm
Do it about act 2 I guess
can u help out more? what would i write. what would be quotation 1 b?
"Though this be madness, yet there is method in't." (Act II, Scene IIAt this point of the play, Hamlet and Polonius are interacting onstage, but this quote is technically spoken by Polonius to the audience, in an aside. What Polonius is saying is that, even though Hamlet is talking crazy, it actually makes sense, or it has a "method." Polonius's assertion is ironic because he is right and wrong. Polonius believes Hamlet is acting "mad" because Hamlet's love of Ophelia has driven him to such. While Polonius is correct to think that there is reason behind Hamlet's actions, he is incorrect as to the cause. Hamlet is purposefully acting mad to disguise his true mission to avenge his father's murder.
can u do next thing?
